“It was a smack in the face, but in a good way. I’d never been out of the country, and I was going to a place with so much poverty, but so much kindness. This country—I felt it open its arms and embrace me.”
Shauna Riddensdale is something of a serial adventurer—at age 18 she completed a 10-month service year with AmeriCorps NCCC and has not stopped exploring. She’s since hiked the Appalachian trail, traveled the country in a van, and even spent time abroad in Nepal as a disaster relief worker.
For two months, Shauna lived in a tent city with a hundred other All Hands and Hearts volunteers while rebuilding a school after an earthquake. She shares what it was like to eat Nepali momo and dal bhat with villagers, build relationships with traveling volunteers of all ages, and explore the Himalayan countryside after her service.
Shauna wholeheartedly recommends All Hands and Hearts for those interested in both travel and disaster relief volunteering. Go to Allhandsandhearts.org to apply!
